I haven't made an initrd though because my boot disk is the 1st IDE, thus I don't need the SCSI driver at boot time.

But when I issue "lsmod" there are no modules loaded.It goes without saying that I have only the loopback IF now because I selected ne2k as module. :-(

Even a "modprobe -a \*" only prints many "can't locate module ..."

Has anyone managed to build a 2.4 Kernel with LVM support who can tell me what I may have missed?

When I had a look at the /lib/modules filesystem I realized that all driver modules are there but the directory structure differs from that of linux.2.2.14 :-(Why have the kernel developers changed this?Maybe this is the reason?

Re: Can't Load Modules after Compile of linux.2.4.0-test9

You need modutils 2.3.x. Last version is modutils-2.3.21.You can find it on kernel.org (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.3/) or at your distro download site if they have a RPM repository for new software (as Cooker for Mandrake).Moreover, as there has been problems with modutils recently, you should upgrade to the last one to avoid security problems.

Re: Can't Load Modules after Compile of linux.2.4.0-test9

As it happens, the kernel team have put the same README file with the sources as is supplied with the 2.2.x sources. So you won't find any useful information there about the new directory structure under /lib/modules/...

You are correct about the directory changes being the cause of your problem, and the modutils upgrade is the required package to solve this. However, in addition to the modutils upgrade (and any packages that are required to upgrade to modutils 2.3.21) it is also advisable to upgrade to the latest version of bash (if this is your shell).
